Kinetic Monte Carlo investigations of the key initiation steps of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis on Fe-based catalyst were undertaken. Our results provide atomic level description of the salient features of temperature programmed desorption spectra that are distinct from previous  interpretations wherein CO desorption event was based on a coverage-independent first-order rate process.
